Passing a value from a datalist to a Function

[sthmpsn1]

tried using this code below, but the problem is it is sending all the items in the datalist versus the one that is relevant to the item clicked. Can someone help

Public Function SetLink(ByVal thelink As String)As String

Session("link&quot=theLink

'nextgrid.databind

Return ""

End Function

<asp:datalist ID=&quot;nextgrid&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; Font-Bold=&quot;true&quot; RepeatColumns=&quot;1&quot; RepeatDirection=&quot;Horizontal&quot;>

<headertemplate><font color=&quot;#990000&quot;>Folders</font></headertemplate>

<itemtemplate>

<table>

<tr>

<td><img src=&quot;../1/images/folder.gif&quot; width=&quot;17&quot; height=&quot;15&quot;><asp:linkbutton ID=&quot;folderlink&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; OnClick=&quot;getnewfiles&quot; Text=&quot;<%# Container.DataItem.thefolder %>&quot;></asp:linkbutton><%# SetLink(Container.DataItem.thefolderlink) %></td>

</tr>

</table>

</itemtemplate>

</asp:datalist>

St: Check the helper functions for the DataGrid at:

...see if that might help (applies to datagrids but you may be able to transfer to datalist binding).
